Essays Critical and Clinical

Front Cover
Verso, 1998 - Literary Criticism - 221 pages
This collection of essays testifies to Deleuze's fundamental conviction that philosophy cannot be undertaken independently of science and art. As so often in his writing, the names of philosophers, such as Plato, Spinozaa, Kant, Nietzsche and Heidegger, appear beside those of literary figures, including Melville, Whitman, D.H. Lawrence, Beckett and Artaud. Deleuze's long-term ambition is realized with this book: to dismantle the barriers between art and its adjacent domains.
